Hope Of Salvation
(Romans 8:22-25) In my last post we looked at the fact that God has subjected the whole of this creation to futility. This world, in fact this universe that we live in is basically futile for it will not last. And if there is one thing common to all mankind it is the desire for…

God’s Planned Obsolescence
(Romans 8:18-21) There is a process in manufacturing where things are designed to wear out, which is called planned obsolescence. From a design perspective most designers desire to create the perfect product that will last and last without breaking down, wearing out or failing. I recall many years ago that someone produced a pair of…

Sons, not Slaves
(Romans 8:14-17) There is a sharp distinction between our life in Jesus Christ and living in this world. There are two sets of opposing powers at work that significantly affect and impact every person on this planet. On the one hand there is the spirit of this world. This world today is ruled by the…

Walking In The Spirit
(Romans 8:12-13) This section of the scripture goes right to the heart of walking in the spirit and it is essential to understand what it says and then how to apply it in your life. In the previous verses we saw a great discussion on the difference between walking in the spirit and walking in…

Spirit of Christ

What Are You Thinking About?
(Romans 8:5-8) These few verses in Romans 8 are fundamental to the change process that is going on in those who come to the Lord. They are the key to the changes that are being wrought in His people and are the most fundamental explanation of walking in the spirit. Until a Christian understands this…

No Condemnation
(Romans 8:1-4) This scripture would have to be one of the most quoted verses amongst Christians in the bible. And yet it is also one of the least understood. But when we understand the power of these words and the blessing that the Lord has bestowed upon us in the unselfish and obedient act of…

Thank You Jesus
(Romans 7:21-25) The challenge that faces all of humanity is their inability to exercise self control in all things. Oh sure, people can exercise self control over many things, but everyone has a weakness or two that will take hold of them when they least expect it and do not want it to happen and…

Sold Under Sin
(Romans 7:13-20) They abolished slavery several hundred years ago. At least they did in most western civilisations and those civilisations where rulers had compassion for their people. And this is a good thing. But despite that fact we are all slaves. Every person on this earth is in the bondage of a slavery like no…

Oops, I Did It Again
(Romans 7:9-12) No this post is not about the song of the same title by Britney Spears, although she too has succumbed in this human problem as well. She has had a few epic fails that have been splashed all over the media and I feel really sorry for what she has been through. What…

The Knowledge Of Sin
(Romans 7:7-8) In previous posts I have looked at sin, freedom from sin and freedom from law. Here we see a further section of scriptures that look at the matter of the knowledge of sin. The understanding of the knowledge of sin is important for all Christians, even after they are set apart from the…

Serving the Law or Serving in the Spirit
(Romans 7:5-6) In my recent posts I have discussed the purposes and processes for freedom from law and freedom from sin that we receive by the grace of God in Jesus Christ. These two scriptures continue and expand this issue of law or freedom from law as they drive to the heart of the two…
